and_o because_o it_o be_v proper_a for_o the_o body_n to_o be_v torment_v with_o some_o real_a material_a substance_n and_o when_o the_o holy_a ghost_n tell_v we_o it_o shall_v be_v fire_n why_o

to_o that_o great_a objection_n that_o it_o be_v say_v to_o be_v prepare_v for_o devil_n they_o be_v ready_a to_o say_v it_o shall_v be_v such_o fire_n as_o will_v not_o only_o torment_v the_o soul_n but_o also_o devil_n too_o god_n have_v power_n to_o make_v such_o a_o fire_n the_o other_o metaphor_n be_v make_v use_n of_o but_o once_o this_o of_o fire_n be_v the_o almost_o constant_a expression_n in_o scripture_n where_o hell_n be_v describe_v i_o confess_v that_o i_o do_v not_o judge_v these_o answer_n to_o be_v full_o satisfactory_a for_o however_o the_o soul_n of_o wicked_a man_n and_o woman_n may_v by_o sympathy_n with_o the_o body_n be_v torment_v by_o real_a fire_n yet_o god_n have_v make_v devil_n to_o be_v whole_o spirit_n which_o be_v whole_o incorporeal_a i_o do_v apprehend_v how_o any_o fire_n or_o bodily_a substance_n can_v have_v any_o impression_n upon_o they_o but_o that_o fire_n air_n earth_n or_o water_n be_v all_o the_o same_o thing_n to_o they_o and_o that_o they_o be_v incapable_a of_o suffer_v by_o any_o of_o they_o that_o as_o water_n can_v drown_v they_o so_o neither_o can_v fire_n burn_v they_o that_o as_o air_n can_v refresh_v they_o so_o neither_o can_v fire_n afflict_v they_o indeed_o be_v the_o opinion_n of_o some_o ancient_n true_a that_o devil_n have_v body_n but_o more_o pure_a and_o resin_a such_o as_o can_v be_v see_v any_o more_o than_o the_o air_n a_o real_a fire_n may_v be_v make_v so_o pure_a by_o god_n as_o to_o torment_v the_o devil_n but_o i_o be_o altogether_o of_o the_o judgement_n that_o devil_n be_v whole_o spirit_n the_o scripture_n assert_v it_o and_o many_o reason_n i_o may_v give_v of_o it_o but_o that_o it_o will_v be_v too_o large_a a_o digression_n moreover_o the_o fire_n of_o hell_n i_o believe_v will_v be_v such_o as_o immediate_o to_o afflict_v the_o soul_n of_o the_o wicked_a and_o not_o only_o by_o sympathy_n with_o the_o body_n because_o otherwise_o the_o torture_n of_o the_o body_n will_v be_v great_a from_o its_o immediate_a object_n than_o the_o anguish_n of_o the_o soul_n by_o sympathy_n when_o the_o soul_n desert_n of_o punishment_n be_v great_a be_v more_o high_o guilty_a of_o sin_n than_o the_o body_n which_o be_v make_v use_n of_o only_a as_o a_o instrument_n yet_o i_o can_v be_v of_o the_o opinion_n that_o the_o fire_n of_o hell_n w●…ll_v whole_o be_v metaphorical_a for_o the_o reason_n before_o give_v therefore_o i_o judge_v that_o both_o the_o opinion_n may_v be_v reconcile_v with_o themselves_o and_o the_o truth_n by_o assert_v that_o this_o fire_n of_o hell_n will_v be_v partly_o metaphorical_a and_o partly_o real_a first_o i_o conceive_v that_o the_o fire_n of_o hell_n will_v be_v in_o part_n metaphorical_a and_o that_o this_o also_o will_v be_v the_o most_o grievous_a and_o torment_a though_o not_o to_o the_o sense_n yet_o to_o the_o soul_n &_o to_o the_o devil_n who_o can_v be_v torment_v by_o no_o other_o fire_n my_o meaning_n be_v that_o the_o fire_n which_o will_v be_v metaphorical_a be_v to_o be_v understand_v of_o the_o fierce_a anger_n and_o wrath_n of_o the_o sin-revenging_a god_n who_o himself_o be_v call_v a_o consume_a fire_n heb._n
